Abstract
This study explores the multifaceted role of ChatGPT, an AI language model, in language teaching and learning contexts. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of literature and empirical studies, the benefits and disadvantages of integrating ChatGPT into language education are examined. Findings reveal that ChatGPT offers personalized feedback, facilitates customized lesson planning, and enhances language proficiency through individualized learning experiences. However, concerns regarding misinformation, lack of human connection, and ethical implications necessitate careful consideration. Implications for language teaching underscore the importance of strategic integration and educator training, while recommendations for further research highlight the need for addressing ChatGPT's limitations and exploring its potential in-depth. By addressing these considerations, educators can harness ChatGPT's capabilities to enhance language instruction and foster more effective learning outcomes.
